The Color OF Canaries,

With regard to the yellow
color of the canary bird and
its testimony to Mr.. Darwin's
theory it is said that, after domestication
in Belgium, Germany, and England
Ga point with which temperature or
climate may havehad something to do
the birds threw up on the feathers small
patches of yellow or lighter color, and
by carefully matching those birds that
had the gestnumberso Of these patch
es the breeders at length, and after
considerable period succeeded in OBJ
tanning bright and uniform yellow
color, more closely resembling what
are called the .clear'' birds of today.
But the application of the phrase, ..ca-
nary color, to indicate Especial shade
OF yellow, though general is not JUS
tilted by the facts. Canaries of pure
breed are to be found of many colors.
Whole breeds are green; and by feeding
on pepper and other seeds, canaries
have: been produced of cinnamon and
coffee color and even of red; and in
the Lizard variety, the bird, though vel
low in the crown is elsewhere shaded
and spangled in the most lovely man
